Brief summary

The aim of the study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of AZD1222 for the prevention of COVID-19.

Detailed description

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruption to healthcare systems with significant socioeconomic impacts. Currently, there are no specific treatments available against COVID-19 and accelerated vaccine development is urgently needed. A safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 prevention would have significant public health impact.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Binary ResponseFrom 15 days post second dose up to data cut-off date (DCO) of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeksA binary response, whereby a participant with negative serostatus at baseline is defined as a COVID-19 case if their first case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive symptomatic illness occurs ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention. Otherwise, a participant is not defined as a COVID-19 case. The primary efficacy analysis was performed once approximately 150 events meeting the primary efficacy outcome measure definition had occurred across the AZD1222 and placebo groups.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Post Each Dose of Study InterventionFrom Day 1 up to 28 days post second dose of study intervention, approximately 57 daysAn AE is the development of any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE), Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAE), and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) Prior to Non-study COVID-19 VaccinationFrom Day 1 up to receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination or a maximum of Day 760 for participants without non-study COVID-19 vaccination.An SAE is an AE occurring during any study phase that fulfils 1 or more of the following criteria: death; immediately life-threatening; in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability or incapacity; congenital abnormality or birth defect; an important medical event. AESIs were events of scientific and medical interest specific to the further understanding of the study intervention safety profile and required close monitoring and rapid communication by the investigators to the sponsor. MAAEs are defined as AEs leading to medically-attended visits that were not routine visits for physical examination or vaccination, such as an emergency room visit, or an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Different follow-up time between AZD1222 and Placebo groups (20223 versus 3893 participant years).
Number of Participants With Local and Systemic Solicited AEs in the Substudy OnlyFrom Day 1 up to 7 days post each dose of study intervention, approximately 14 daysSolicited AEs are local or systemic predefined events for assessment of reactogenicity. Solicited AEs were collected in a e-Diary only for participants in the substudy.

Recruitment details

This Phase III randomized study was conducted in adult participants who were healthy or had medically stable chronic diseases and were at increased risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) acquisition and coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) at 88 centers in Chile, Peru and United States of America between 28 August 2020 and 10 February 2023.

Pre-assignment details

The study had a screening period (14 days), followed by a treatment and follow-up period (up to 760 days). A total of 32450 participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive AZD1222 or placebo. One participant was enrolled at 2 sites and excluded from all analysis sets. The first participants randomized in each age group in the United States of America participated in a substudy to assess immunogenicity and reactogenicity.

Outcome results

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Post Each Dose of Study Intervention

An AE is the development of any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Time frame: From Day 1 up to 28 days post second dose of study intervention, approximately 57 days

Population: The safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention from primary analysis data cut which is 1 participant less in placebo group than that from the final data cut.

Number of Participants With Binary Response

A binary response, whereby a participant with negative serostatus at baseline is defined as a COVID-19 case if their first case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive symptomatic illness occurs ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention. Otherwise, a participant is not defined as a COVID-19 case. The primary efficacy analysis was performed once approximately 150 events meeting the primary efficacy outcome measure definition had occurred across the AZD1222 and placebo groups.

Time frame: From 15 days post second dose up to data cut-off date (DCO) of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks

Population: The fully vaccinated analysis set (FVS) included all participants in the full analysis set (FAS) who were seronegative at baseline, received 2 doses of study intervention, and who remained on-study 15 days after their second dose without having had a prior SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive confirmed COVID-19 infection.
